I love the Witcher 3. CDProjekt you gave a valiant effort.....but you didn't know Fallout 4 would be out this year. With what they showed it could be game of the generation not just GOTY IMHO.
Bethesda E3 Press Conference (Sun., 7 pm pacific)
- Thread starter Andy
- Start date
Excellent show. I really like what Todd Howard said about games being able to provide entertainment experiences not possible in other mediums, that sense of exploration, discovery, and accomplishment. His whole presentation was great.
Fallout looks fantastic. The ability to build your own settlements sounds really interesting, along with all the crafting and weapon and armor mods. People that complain about the graphics are really missing the point -- it's all about the richness of the world, all the detail, all the freedom and sense of discovery.... I'm going to be spending so much time in that world.
Good to hear about Dishonored 2. I enjoyed the first and the second looks like it might be even better.

Not bad for their first outing. Best thing was Fallout Shelter. Fallout 4 looks good, but like more of the same. Looking forward to the base building / tower defense aspect the most.
You could give your child up for adoption.
Fallout 4 > children.
Yeah I said it.
I was joking about the adoption part.
I don't know, not seeing anything that tops the emotional pull of the Witchers narrative. Doesn't seem the story is going to be as strong.
For those of you who missed the F4 feed:
- There's a fun app store game releasing tonight for free
- The F4 game has customizing players and construction.... homes, defences, built your own gear based on finding parts and stuff lying around the world
- Collector's Edition comes with a working PipBoy
- If you like collectibles, everyone in the crowd gets some two inch figurines.... so be on the look out for people ebaying it!...... assuming Bethesda doesn't also sells these at stores.

Doom
- Graphics looked phenomenal
- 1080p/60fps on consoles
- idtech 6
- Snapmap, which is a complex level/map maker which is open for all gamers. Built maps by piecing together assets and setting AI scripting
- Various MP modes as usual
- Gameplay looked kind of familiar and boring after 5 minutes. Gameplay really looked no different than old Dooms

Doom looked incredible visually I find it hard to believe that lod will be 1080p/60fps on these consoles http://www.gamepur.com/news/15482-d...one-quakecon-demo-footage-details-leaked.html
Oh how I hope I am wrong

Just the first sequence I suppose. I think most Fallout games are kind of just going on at the same time ~200 years after the bombs dropped.
Oh, and for anybody who missed the conference, like me, here is the Fallout 4 stage demo
You can create a freaking settlement.
In a Fallout game!
That just blows my mind in sooooo many ways. Having played Fallout 1 all the way to New Vegas I am just so excited for this feature.

The post show is on for a while. I never knew about Todd Howard, but wow. He is very well spoken. Explains things well, a true gamer and knows the details. Looking at his wiki, he goes back to Elder Scrolls Arena.... that was around 20 years ago.
Game designers could learn a thing or two about making sure whomever represents their games in a conference have someone who can both present well, and be a gamer at heart.

I'm hoping their latest Creation Engine is solid as that's what's being used for F4!
The benefits of a long development cycle. I think they said they started on F4 after F3, but it got pushed aside due to Skyrim, but then after Skyrim got back on track.
Thank god Bethesda doesn't turn their RPGs into annual or bi-annual releases. It may be painful to wait 4-5 years in between Fallouts and ES games, but it's worth it.
I see lots of people skipping the quests and just screwing around finding parts and building stuff. That goes for the custom weapons and armour too.
I''m assuming (and hoping) there is some kind of mode or "activation" to allow gamers to test out their fortification for fun. No point making a big armoured bunker if only a handful of bandit groups invade. It would be pointless then.
I gave the conference a straight C.
Doom was offensively bad. I hope to Christ that there's a gamer backlash to this kind of drivel. It appears to be a game that could be done on the N64 (albeit with a downgrade in graphics). I give Halo a hard time but that gunplay should be the bar in all FPS games. This medium to close range BS has been done a million times in the last 25 years. OMG was that awful.
The Elder Scrolls: Legend was a teaser for a card game. The game might be fantastic but the teaser didn't build any excitement whatsoever. It couldn't.
I'm slightly optimistic for Dishonored 2. I like the more realistic art direction and the world looks super interesting/beautiful. Still not in love with first person stealth games. It's a shame it was all CGI trailer. Hopefully we see lots of gameplay in the coming days.
Fallout 4 didn't impress either. The graphics are confirmed now to be bad and the gameplay looks super iterative of previous Fallout/Elder Scrolls titles (as it should be I guess). I'm sure the people who loved previous Bethesda open world RPG's will like this though.

Not entirely accurate. Fallout 1 takes place just 84 years after the Great War that destroyed the world. Fallout 2 80 years after the survivor of vault 11 from Fallout 1 dies. So F2 is 168 years after the Great War and Fallout 3 is ~32 years after the events of Fallout 2. So F3 is actually a little over 200 years after the Great War with New Vegas ~ 3.5-4 years after the events in F3.
You need you gamer card pulled, burned, and crucified at the stake for such blasphemy!
I have a question though, what open world games of that scale look better other than the witcher 3?
Why are you focusing on graphics?
Fallout is an open world game. Most likely bigger than the Witcher 3 and GTA5. Way more things going on and way more things to do. Graphics whores are destroying the industry. Fallout 4 and Doom look good and even Doom is 60fps/1080p from what was said and still you complain. It is those people that think every game needs to look absolutely amazing that we end up with dry hallow games like the Order 1886 that most people who like good games have already forgotten.
I gave Doom a meh because of the gameplay I will admit, but it is a step up from the previous game visually. As is Fallout 4. If we want to judge a game on graphics judge it on the games in the series that came before it. In every way Fallout 4 and Doom are upgrades visually over their predecessors.
The Witcher 3 set the bar.
CDProjectRed is a smaller team, with a smaller budget, and they had less time to make The Witcher 3. There is no excuse for this game not to AT LEAST look as good as that one.
I also have no doubt there will be at least a few open world RPG's shown (Guerilla Games Horizon) in the next couple of days that will look better than Fallout 4. No doubt in my mind.
They should have used that IDtech6 engine honestly, but I still think it looked good.
